The Richmond Whig says: '"Tht
western Union has broken down and
bought up every opposition line that
has been started, and the fact has
become evident that no private Coz
pOration can compete with it.
The whole telegraph system of this
mighty country in the hands of Jay
Gould! What dangeous power!
The Western Union monopoly has
worked steadily to accomplish it. 1t
virtually deties all competition, for no
corporation will venture to enter the
field against man who is backed by
hundred million of dollars. The
telegraph service is as essential al
most to the commercial world as the
mail service, and yet we find it in
the hands of one man. The people
comprehend the danger, for the
Knights of Labor, in their recent
convention at Minneapolis, and the
National Farmers Alliance in con
vention at shreveport, representing
together not less than two and one
half millions OF the laboring men of
the country, demanded that the
government should operate the tele-
graph and telephone systems of the
country as adjuncts to the Z. S. Mai

press all over the land will say amen
Will we be told that this is tending
to Capitalization in our governm en,
Be it so. We infinitely prefer q
peoples monopoly to the monopoly
of one man. They can at least have
an indirect control in its guidance
through their suftrages. Jay Gould
today holds in his hand a power
which is fearfully dangerous. 1t is
a power which we would not trust to
George Washington, nor any other
man who ever lived, and the peoplc |

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

Now that Mr.. Gallagher of this
county has taken tie lead in the
matter of saving water in this State
for irrigation purposes it would be
well for some of the enterprising
residents of Carson Valley to take
steps in the same direction in that
Valley. There is no doubt but
that near the head waters of Il Q
Carson river there are places which
with little expense could be
made to store the surplus water
that now goes to waste every Win
ter and Spring. Reservoirs could
be built and dams put in that
would hold the water back until
such time as it is needed in the
Summer, AMI then there would proba-
bly, be water enough to keep all the
mills on the river running the en-
tire season. The lakes that Mr..
Gallagher has located, are of
course, natural reservoirs, but
there will have to he considerable
work done in putting in dams, etc.,
TO further save the water. 1t has
been estimated that by placing
large dams in these lakes that the
water can be raised ten feet, and of
course by building the dams higher
and larger and doing a more expen-
sive job the wafer could be raised
fifteen or twenty feet. Consider
ing that the lakes are from two to
three miles long and from half to
three-quarters OF a mile wide, it
will be readily seen that TO raise
the water in them twenty feet
would give the ranchers quite
good supply. 1t is calculated that
to raise the water about ten feet
1t would cost in the neighborhood
of 81 900 and that by going to an
expense of $4,000 to $4,000 it
could be raised nearly twenty feet.
The undertaking is one of consider
able importance and therefore
everyone should ieel more or less
interested in it, and we believe it
would be good plan. for the State
to make a fair-sized appropriation
for the purpose OF carrying on the
work. There are certainly other
streams in the State besides the
Walker river that could in the
same way be damned and the
water held back until such a time
as it is needed. The press of the
State should take the matter up and
urge that an appropriation be
made for this purpose, for without
irrigation the agricultural interests
will never amount to much, while
with plenty of water Nevada can be
made AS thrifty and prosperous an
agricultural little State as there is
in the Union. Lyon County Times.

Mr.. Beechcr,s Last Moments

Dr.. Searle makes the following verbal
statement in regard to the distinguished
divIne's last hours:
MI. Beeoher began to fail decidedly at
3 O'Clock this morning. His respiration
was rapid. At o'clock the family was
summoned. Death came slowly and
.stealthily. The respiration gradually
became faster and faster until they
reached sixty q minute, one each second.
The pulse was variable and often reach
ing 40. He still remained in the same
condition except breathing, eyes closed
and entirely unconscious. The motion
of the right arm became less frequent
and finally stopped almost entirely.
About 8 O'Clock in the morning we could
detect the first symptoms of Immediate
death. His pulse ran up still higher,
hickered and huctuated until 9:2S, two
minutes before his death. His pulse
ceased almost entirely at the wrist, so
faint that it could hardly be detected,
and then stopped altogether. There
vas a rattling in his throat painful to
those Ground him, but unfelt. by him
owing to the failure OF the nerve center
OF the respiratory organs. together with
the failure ofthe hearts action. His death
whish came at $50, was very easy, as
painless, if not as pleasant as death from
suffocation or by drowning is said to be.
